View Port
Sea views over both the port and Plakes Beach
About this hotel
View Port earns its name honestly, sea-view rooms with a terrace and balcony that look out toward a genuinely flexible position between two of the town's main draws. Skiathos' Port sits just 400 metres away, close enough for an easy ferry morning, while Skiathos Plakes Beach is a twelve-minute walk in the other direction, giving guests a choice of which stretch of coastline to prioritize on a given day. Papadiamantis' House lies a four-minute walk away too, and room service covers evenings when neither the port nor the beach feels worth the walk. Common areas stay simple rather than elaborate, in keeping with the size of the property. None of this is flashy, but it covers what a short island stay actually needs.

Our take
This suits travelers who haven't decided between a port-side or beach-side priority, given the balanced twelve-minute and four-hundred-metre distances to each. Room service adds genuine flexibility for quieter evenings. Anyone wanting to be immediately on the sand should look toward a direct beachfront property instead. It is a straightforward, honest fit for the right traveler rather than a fit for everyone.
- ✓Confirm whether your room faces the port or toward Plakes Beach, the outlook varies by unit.
- ✓Walk to Papadiamantis' House on your first day, it's a close four minutes and worth an early visit.
- ✓Order room service on evenings when the twelve-minute beach walk feels like too much.

Why guests love itView Port is in central Skiathos Town, 400 metres from the port and a four-minute walk from Papadiamantis' House, with the airport only a kilometre away. Rooms have sea views, a terrace or balcony and free WiFi, and room service is available, handy with tired children in the evening. Plakes Beach is a twelve-minute walk. No pool or kids' facilities are listed, so I see it as a town base with views. It is rated 8.7 from 463 reviews.
